Overall, Word Jong's mahjong and word style of play makes this game super catchy. The versus mode is more than entertaining despite not having a multiplayer or online capabilities. This game is for anyone looking to improve their vocabulary, or for anyone interested in mahjong or word games. Be prepared to play for hours and hours because this game has strong addictive qualities.
Word Jong blends 2 classic casual games into 1 - MahJong and word making! Sound interesting? It is incredibly catchy - especially versus mode that combines word making strategy that will remind you of a reverse Scrabble game.
Different Modes for Different Players
Word Jong is actually 3 different games in 1 using the same core concept of making words from a MahJong style game board.
In Link Mode, you make words using the last letter of the previous word you made. Your goal is to get a turtle from one side of river to another. The better words you make, the faster he moves. A cute and relaxing mode to play.
In the Classic Mode of Word Jong, you make words from a Mahjong board and try to clear as many puzzles as possible.
As you make words from the tiles, more letters will uncover for you to use. You can earn jade tiles that advance your score quicker and butterfly tiles that will act as wildcards to help you make better words.
Versus Mode - A Lot of Fun
Word Jong really shines in Versus Mode. You start with an easy opponent and go back and forth making words from the same Mah Jong board. You earn points when you make words, some letters giving more points similar to Scrabble. When you get 30 points ahead or have more points at the end of round 3, you win and earn Dragon coins to unlock new and tougher opponents and new Mah Jong tile sets.
This mode is very accessible to new players as the computer opponents start out fairly easy. The difficulty is increased gradually with each new opponent. Once you beat an opponent, he is unlocked and you can play against him again at any time. This mode really rewards those who like progress and improvement.
If you like mahjong style games and enjoy word puzzles, Word Jong is right up your alley. Give the free download a try and enjoy yourself with this fun and unique game!

Test your vocabulary prowess and quick thinking skills with Word Jong, an enticing cross between Scrabble and Mah Jong. Word Jong challenges both sides of your brain - right-brained word lovers get to stretch their vocabulary skills, while left-brained techies are challenged on a spatial and strategic level as you try to uncover tiles in a manner that will solve the total puzzle.
Word Jong is fun for the entire family ... and please don’t tell my kids, but it’s an excellent way for them to improve their vocabulary and spelling skills while also engaging their mathematical and spatial thinking abilities. I heartily recommend this game!
